Look at That Girl

"Look at THAT girl! She has cuts on her hips. There are tears in her eyes and a prayer on her lips. What can we do? Is there anything we can say? Should we hold her really tight and tell her things will be ok? I wonder what she's going through; what makes her so sad? If she's willing to cut it must be really bad. If we could give her one thing, just a smile or a hug, could we keep her alive? Would that be enough?" But that's not how the story really goes; here it is "She's a gay emo freak; I don't care who she is."
